Transacted Land Premium
The Site was transacted at a premium of HKD716 million, representing an accommodation value of HKD9,112/sq. ft. on a GFA basis. This was higher than the market expectation which ranged from HKD5,500/sq. ft. to HKD8,000/sq. ft. and reflects the developer’s confidence in the residential market and locality, which in turn is expected to boost the residential price in Yuen Long in the mid-term.
